Fort Reno Forum Party!

So, the Fort Reno summer concert schedule hasn't been released yet, but I have an idea brewing…I think we should pick one of the shows that would get a pretty good Forum turnout, and make it a forum party! A drawback is the onslaught of summer rainstorms, but we can always try. If it falls flat, who cares. I'll head to Guapos for margaritas, myself.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Reno schedule and think about a good showcase for Forumites.

Gads haven't been to Ft. Reno since Fugazi's last show there.

sounds like a partay…?


gross, i just used the word partay.

q and not u maybe?

Ted Leo would be an obvious choice if he plays this year

may i ask where fort reno is…also no, you can not see pictures of me in girls pants, those are personal and too sexy for you :D

My vote is for Ted Leo if he plays as well.

ay on Ted. According to the dischord site the Evens playing ft reno on june 30th, i'd be down for that and by "be down," i mean part-tay.

It is on the DC map. Near Wisconson Ave. by the TV towers.

i would actually vote for a smaller show– it's easier to have a get-together when the place isn't filled with people.
Sounds of Kaleidescope?
1905?

Oh, if we're going for a show no one else will be at, may I suggest Travis Morrison? No one in their right mind would show up for that.

Actually, the one thing I'd ask for is that it be a Thursday show, not a Monday show. Monday shows are impossible for me, even when they're free! ')

As the planner, idea person, etc., it'd be nice if I could make it. Regardless, I asked, I didn't tell! (I think chances are 50/50 it'll be a day I can't make it or a band I don't want to see….I don't care, just thought it was a cool idea, 'cuz Fort Reno's cool…)

Actually, the idea came when I was talking to someone about going to Fort Reno before I'd met anyone from the board, and I kept checking people out wondering, "I'll bet that's LuLu…LuLu would wear black tights in the summer, most likely….Hey, that's a pirate-like shirt, could that be Paige?." Rather than the surmising, why not just have an actual gathering?

I work every Thursday night.

what about like, weekend shows?
everybody can make those, right?


every time i meet people from message boards, i feel like a total internet geek.
"oh, Bags! It's me, you be betty!"

it's pretty (underscore) awkward…

How do you think I'm going to feel announcing to people I'm Julian, faux celeb-porn CONNOISSEUR?

well that's a silly visual.
the worst thing is, too, that people always assume my name is Betty.
i don't really know if your name is Julian or not, but my name is certainly not Betty.

it is a bit of a let down when i call somebody and they know multiple Alyssa's, and they ask "which Alyssa?" and i have to reply "BETTY" and they suddenly know who it is.

I could definitely go for a Dismemberment Plan reunion. A friend of mine from Beauty Pill said that Travis' new stuff is more Plan-esque

in general I am much more comfortable addressing forumites by their screen, as opposed to their 'real' names, even when I know their real names

lulu will always be lulu, kosmo will always be kosmo etc etc
